What does HackerNews think of microui?

The price for the 'lightest' general UI toolkit probably goes to microui:

https://github.com/rxi/microui

Just around 1100 lines of C code.

You need to bring your own renderer, but that's the same for Nuklear or Dear ImGui.

I wrote a WASM wrapper for the microui demo too:

The tools are all written in C and use microui[1] for the UI. The games are typically written in LÖVE with the exception of SCANLINE which uses Nim

The resident memory was 10MB in my windows machine when I ran this. A strong reason for me to use this would be in a low powered device. I want to write markdown in a tiny editor like this. I want to run multiple projects side by side and this is good for that. If I'm a beginner trying do dev on a machine lower than 4G of RAM. So many more examples come to my mind. I'm pretty sure there are more

Also the immediate UI library from the same author is very good and the examples are amazing.

I didn't check but I would assume it's based on https://github.com/rxi/microui by the same author.
